Hey, la, la, la, la
Yeah, building a house so it can fall at the first brick
If the cement don't stick
But I've been told
That it only gets harder from there!

Hmm, I said now that I'm young I just do what I do
I don't second guess too much
Shed my ties and I'm not that wise
I'm not a grown up as such
But all of the talk about the ring and the baby
Gets me every time
Am I big enough, strong enough to walk along your line?
Yeah, baby

Building a house so it can fall at the first brick
If the cement don't stick
But I've been told
That it only gets harder from there!

You say I'm always on the hustle
That I don't know just how good I get it
And that there's plenty of men out there with money and muscle
Look at these hips, baby, don't you forget them
Oh, but the curves all go, the money well spent
What we left within the end?
Oh, she's wanting half and she's staking her claim
I'm saying, 'who's that bitch with my second name?'
Oh, 'cause building a house so it can fall at the first brick
If the cement don't stick
But I've been told
That it only gets harder from there!

Yeah, baby, truth be told
I'm only trying to keep our heads above the water
Responsibility, eternal monogamy
I'm not a father, child
Are you a mother?
But you, you're my pride and joy
Yeah, you, you are my pride and joy!

Yeah, building a house so it can fall at the first brick
If the cement don't stick
But I've been told
That it only gets harder from there, ha!
Yeah, baby
Building a house so it can fall at the first brick
If the cement don't stick
But I've been told
That it only gets harder from there!
Yet I've been told
That it only gets harder from there!
Yet I've been told
That it only gets harder from there!
Yeah, ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Yeah
